Aqueous cleaning agents selection

The selection of an aqueous cleaning system is simplified if only water alone, or water and a commodity chemical alone, are used. The cleaning performance can be somewhat predicted based on solubility characteristics (at the appropriate pH) or by consideration of the peptizing performance of alkalinity on protein or the oxidizing action of sodium hypochlorite on denatured protein. In the case of formulated multifunctional cleaning agents, the performance is more...
